 IranianVoice.org - ''A Word with the Nation, A Warning to the Regime''
The Iranian people took part in the revolution to promote democracy and to replace despotism with popular sovereignty while replacing nepotism and corruption with social justice, civil society and the rule of law.
The majority of newspapers, media and web sites who are critical of government policy have either been shut down or severely censored by the regime (filtering in the case of the web sites).
There are also those amongst the media who while fearing death have resorted to committing suicide, as in the case of those newspapers who fearful of government intervention, themselves resort to a policy of self censorship in the hope of sustaining their operations.

The list will probably appeal to the old generation of Iraqis who were born under the monarchy, saw it destroyed in a bloody coup in 1958, and experienced more than four decades of repression which ensued.
A list was submitted by the Liberal Mission Gathering, whose objectives are 'justice, equality and freedom." [13] A list of 63 candidates was submitted by the old secular-liberal Sunni politician, Adnan al-Pachachi, a former foreign minister of Iraq.
Although al-Pachachi has submitted a list, he continues to insist that the elections be postponed to allow all segments of the Iraqi society to participate in the drafting of the constitution and has left open his options whether to take part in the elections.

Sadly, the Iranian people are currently trapped in a system that prevents them from realizing their aspirations for freedom, democracy and the rule of law.
Journalists are routinely jailed, dozens of newspapers have been shut down, religious minorities are persecuted, and opposition leaders beaten or killed for expressing their views.
It is true that we have not deterred the Iranian regime from continuing their weapons programs, nor have we been completely successful in convincing other countries, especially Russia, from providing assistance for these programs.

 Human Rights Watch - Torture, Detention, and the Crushing of Dissent in Iran
Since then Iran’s independent newspapers have been almost completely destroyed, the result of a campaign launched by the Office of the Leader and the judicial authority in April 2000 to silence growing dissent.
With the newspapers closed, treatment of detainees worsened considerably in Evin prison and in detention centers operated clandestinely by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the judiciary.
The Iranian authorities have managed, in the span of four years, to virtually silence the political opposition within the country through the systematic use of indefinite solitary confinement of political prisoners, physical torture of student activists, and denial of basic due process rights to all those detained for the expression of dissenting views.

Newspapers across the Middle East have warned of the dangers of an imbalance of power in future Iraqi elections after the announcement of the 30 January poll results.
The English-language Arab News said one of the key messages was that "those who had argued, often against heavy odds, that an Arab country could be helped to move towards democracy were not as off-target as their critics claimed".
Speaking to Aljazeera, Salman al-Jumaili, Director of the legal and political studies centre in al-Nahrain University in Baghdad said al-Sistani's list should not be viewed as a single entity, "as this alliance may collapse due to clash of interests or directions among its members".

What's surprising is that the bloggers themselves are striving just as hard to bring this chaos to an end as everybody else is. And they're doing it by setting up their own hierarchy of what's valuable in the blogosphere and what isn't.
And of course it's no accident that blogs are achieving some degree of legitimacy at the same time that bloggers are creating their own versions of the authoritarianism and money hunger that already plague the traditional media.
While big corporations and newspapers are setting up their own jingoistic blogs, such as Microsoft's Scobleizer, a handful of journalists have been fired for blogging, as have corporate serfs at Google, Microsoft, and Delta Airlines.

The Iranian people are ready to do their part, if the United States and other democratic countries are ready to stand with them.
While the State department is clearly departing from its hard line regime change approach and has started to facilitate more contacts with Iranians, regardless of their attitudes towards the Bush administration, the reaction from these groups is interesting.

On February 20, Iranian voters had an opportunity to go to the polls and have a voice in determining who their elected representatives would be.
Although the original list of Democratic hopefuls gave the appearance of a broad and diverse selection from which to choose, clearly this process is no less rigged than the Iranian version.
Today, newspapers and the electronic media are dedicating millions of dollars in assets to cover the witch hunt being directed by a bipartisan conglomeration of elected officials and the religious right against the gay and lesbian community.

 Newspapers to Use Links to Rivals on Web Sites - New York Times
Newspaper Web sites, which commonly post articles from sister publications, wire services and even blogs, have typically stopped short of providing generous doses of news from competitors.
The move made by these papers is not a result of cooperation across the industry as it is a counterattack by publishers against Google and Yahoo, which have stolen readers and advertisers from newspapers in recent years, both with their search engines and their own news aggregation services.
The amount of revenue gleaned from a newspaper’s Web site varies widely depending on the publication, but according to the Newspaper Association of America, 5.5 percent of the newspaper industry’s revenues come from their online divisions.

 Arab Newspapers Reluctant to Criticize Iranian Leader's Remarks on Israel
The comments by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, broadcast live Wednesday on state-run Iranian television, drew quick condemnation from Israel, the European Union and the United States.
However, in the United Arab Emirates, the top three Arabic-language newspapers buried the remarks deep in their Thursday editions, with no commentary.
Arabic language newspapers circulated widely in the Arab world, such as the London-based Al-Hayat and Asharq Al-Awsat, carried the news on their front pages, but also without editorials.

Mon 04 Dec 2006 06:20 PM When the newspaper consortium of seven media companies announced a multi-year deal with Yahoo last month, the media execs said other newspapers are invited to join and some already are interested.
She expected the company’s stock to underperform other newspaper publishers, which is saying quite a bit.

 CJR July/August 2004: The List by Douglas McCollam
That impression was confirmed when Qanbar got off the phone and began an extended rant about the failings of Paul Bremer, head of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad, who Qanbar maintained was working with the CIA and State Department to crush the INC at the behest of Arab potentates fearing its political rise.
In the months since the INC list was made public in a story by Jonathan Landay, senior national correspondent for the Washington bureau of Knight Ridder, it has taken on an almost emblematic quality.
In all, I called or wrote to about forty reporters whose names appear on the list to ask about their contacts with the INC in general and their knowledge of the Information Collection Program in particular.

 The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Uneasy agreement in fight over role of clerics in new Iraq
A breakdown was averted when religious parties backed by Iran agreed to expand the number of secularists and religious moderates on the slate.
Even al-Sistani, who was born in Iran and speaks Arabic with an Iranian accent, reportedly doesn't agree with such clerical rule.
Angered by the supposedly pro-Iranian contingent, some Shiite political groups threatened to form a different list of candidates, which would have split the Shiite vote and offered Sunni Muslim, Kurdish and other rivals an opportunity for more slots in the national assembly.

 2005 the deadliest for journalists in a decade: RSF - Boston.com
"The (Iranian) information ministry boasts that it currently blocks access to hundreds of thousands of websites, especially those dealing in any way with sex but also those providing any kind of independent news," RSF said.
The watchdog said it had expanded its list of "predators of press freedom" in 2005 to include Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, "who made inflammatory remarks as soon as he took office and forced reformist newspapers to close down."
Turning to Europe and North America, RSF said the battle to defend the secrecy of journalistic sources was more pressing than ever, and said the repeated searches of reporters' homes and offices in several European states was alarming.
